Collects residential, commercial and industrial waste, earns collection and tipping fees, and owns transfer, recycling, landfill and hazardous-waste infrastructure across the United States and Canada. Vertically integrated local networks move material from pickup through processing or disposal, while permits and contracted municipal and commercial volumes shape operations.
Collects residential, small-container and large-container waste; operates transfer stations, recycling centers and landfills; and provides hazardous-waste treatment, industrial field services and emergency response. Operations span the United States and Canada and are managed through two geography-based recycling-and-waste groups plus an environmental solutions group. Polymer Centers extend the recycling chain into recycled plastic feedstocks for packaging.
Combines local operating accountability with standardized processes and integrates acquisitions into existing routes and facilities to reduce duplicated costs. Vertically integrated local networks move material from collection through transfer, processing or company-operated disposal. Revenue is anchored in municipal and commercial contracts, while landfill capacity, hazardous-waste handling and facility operations require permits and environmental compliance; landfill expansion is not assured and closed sites carry post-closure obligations.
